Bible Contradictions: Explained!

[Jason Gastrich]

I've written a complete rebuttal to the atheist resource and commentary known as "The Skeptic's Annotated Bible." My book is called "The Skeptic's Annotated Bible: Corrected and Explained" and you can see it here: http://sab.jcsm.org . I've also written a workbook with 300 questions and answers that accompanies the CD-ROM.

On the CD-ROM, there are a number of great resources like a Strong's Dictionary and Concordance, a KJV Bible, Easton's Bible Dictionary, over 450 pictures of Israel from my trips, etc.

God bless,

there are no controdictions in the bible, only "apparent controdictions"

I agree! After studying the Word for thousands of hours, I conclude that there are no errors; only some apparent ones that can be explained.

God bless,

If there’s a will there’s a way. If there’s a will to harmonise the contradictions, there’s a way for the Christian to do so. What’s surprising is that people should be able to find contradictions, apparent or no, at all.

I don’t care much for internal contradictions in the Bible. For me, the contradiction been Genesis and science is enough to invalidate the whole book.

Hi Heather,

I disagree. If what you are saying is correct, then any literature or document can be harmonized. I've found errors and contradictions in Mormon literature, for example, that cannot be harmonized. If you think it can, then by all means, please harmonize it.

Here is the main link to my Mormon research: http://www.jcsm.org/Contents/Mormonism.htm

I'm glad you said this. Answers in Genesis has recognized how current, secular, scientific thought (e.g. evolutionism) has undermined Genesis. They articulate this very well in their book called, "Why Won't They Listen?" It's a great read and I recommend it.

Let me make two points. First, there is an argument for billions of years being harmonized with the Genesis account of creation. I believe it is inaccurate and falls short, though. However, people such as Hugh Ross would beg to differ with me. If you want to see some of my creation science pages, please go here: http://mustsee.jcsm.org. If you'd like to see a paper I wrote on Genesis 1 and 2 and how the creation week was definitely a literal week, then please go here: http://www.jcsm.org/Creation/CreationAccount.htm.

The second point is this: don't forget that the theory of evolution is not based on observable facts. It is essentially a faith-based, religious belief.

I firmly believe in every form of evolution that we have observed. For instance, I believe that a primrose plant produced a different species of primrose plant. That is a fact. However, I don't believe in the evolution that nobody has ever seen.

If you do believe in evolutionary steps and leaps that nobody has ever seen, can you honestly call them facts? Why would you prefer to believe in the evolution we have never seen instead of the Genesis account of creation? Why should I trade my faith for your faith?

Have a good night and thanks for your time.

Sincerely,
Jason Gastrich

If anyone has an alleged, biblical contradiction or a question about the Bible's harmony that they haven't been able to answer, I'm happy to try and answer. Just post it and I'll reply.

God bless,
Jason

This thread really belongs in the Apologetics forum but that matters not to me. Contradictions are not the only way a religious text can be 'faulty'. If I say "the moon is made of cheese" I didn't contradict myself but I was WRONG nonetheless.
